OF THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE COLLEGE
TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 1, 1940, STATE COLLEGE, PA.
,P.S.: Its the Alma Mater
May our lives help swell they
fame,
Dear old State, dear old State.
These words are those of the
Alma Mater. Freshmen are re
quired to know them. Upper
classmen aren’t. A survey made
by W. Lewis Corbin ’4l, chair
man of Tribunal, in a Speech 200
class showed that, only 12 per
cent of the upperclassmen could
write the first and last verses. He
reported that an additional 30 per
cent could write the first verse,
but 58 per cent could write neith
er verse correctly. The most com
mon error was for upperclassmen
to give the words of the “Blue
and White.”

Atherton Bonfire
Climaxes Biggest
Pajama Parade
Climaxed by a bonfire on the
lawn of Atherton Hall, the year’s
biggest pajama parade to date end
ed with little damage to property,
except the archery targets on
Holmes Field.
. Starting in Locust Lane, at about
10 o’clock last night, the parade
slowly swung through the fratern
ity section, then headed down
town.
After marching in orderly fash
ion past Co-op Cornej, about 300
pajamaed men marched west on
College Avenue and turned north
on Burrowes Road, past the cam
pus fraternities.
The parade grew to nearly 500
as it swung through the men’s
dormitory section. Attempts to en
list dormitory men proved futile,
with each entrance guarded by up
perclassmen armed with paddles
who allowed neither entrance nor
exit.
Marching through the campus,
the parade, now 600 strong, halted
momentarily to serenade the Mac,
Hall coeds. After six freshmen un
successfully tried to enter the
freshman women’s dorm via the
fire escapes, the parade moved on
to Holmes Field where the archery
targets were set on fire.
One of the -bales was carried
to Atherton Hall lawn where it
was fired.
Forming a semi-circle on the
entrance steps, the paraders ser
enaded the girls for 15 minutes.
Several of the coeds proved unap
preciative .and dumped water on
one group.
.After the serenade, the parade
slowly broke up. Groups attempted
to haul the remaining straw down
town to build a bonfire on College
Avenue but' hat man prevented
this.
